Living underwater . . .

In July 2001 Roy Caldwell led an underwater mission in the Aquarius habitat. The Aquarius is the worlds only operational underwater habitat being used for basic research on marine systems. Because the scientists lived underwater, they were able to spend much more time collecting data, and learned a lot about the behavior of stomatopods in their natural environment.
